Daley Tantrum

In light of the mayor's actions in derailing the negotiations, it becomes easier and easier to believe stories like this:

Embarrassment is what gets under the Mayor's skin. I am unaware if this is out but the day of no confidence was taken very serious, so serious that he was throwing stuff around and yelling like a 2 year old.

This isn't the first time we've heard of the mayor acting like a petulant child when he doesn't get his way. The stories of his tantrums and hissy-fits pop up with astonishing regularity for someone who's supposed to be running a world class city with dreams of hosting an Olympics. But as Shortshanks has never held a job that actually involved earning money by the sweat of labor, we can see where his spoiled rotten attitude would shine through under the mildest of pressures.

How to increase the pressure? INFORMATIONAL PICKETING when the Olympic Committee is here.

Don't bother trying to meet them at the airport; they are escorted and whisked away by limo.

Think more about the route to and from the hotel and the front of the hotel itself. The media will be doing live shots in front of the hotel, pointing to where the dignitaries are staying. A few picket signs in the scene might be - um - bothersome to the mayor.

Maybe send family members? This way you won't be identified and singled out by his honor later on.

"But as Shortshanks has never held a job that didn't involve actually earning money by the sweat of labor, we can see where his spoiled rotten attitude would shine through under the mildest of pressures.

The animosity and hostility in the police contract talks does not have to be that way. Most police officers are reasonable people and know what the current economic situation in the world is. We don't want the world and sky. Just a fair offer.

It is frustrating when we see the teachers get 20+% quickly. And the aldermen get 2 6% raises when the city is in a financial crisis that they caused.

And the city is crying "poor, poor, poor" while at the same time it is squandering money on wrought iron fences, flower pots, hired trucks and most of all, an Olympic Games bid that no one really wants because we know that we will never see any tickets (they are already divvied out to the insiders)but will get stuck with the bill.

Shortshanks wants to break the unions so he can more money to steal and squander. It starts with the police, then the fire. One we are broke, the entire city work force falls in line.

If the city can't afford to pay for its basic services then it should take a pass on throwing a big party that is out of its reach.

This is interesting about the 55 med coverage and retiree health coverage.Remember 2013 NO CITY employee has retiree health insurance according to the :Korshak agreement" (prob misspelled!The city will never tell us everything. The above agreement takes effect 2013= No retiree health coverage for any city employee.Do your research if this is true we are on our own, what you gonna do at 55 with no health insurance and pre-existing conditions???WE ARE FUCKED!!!!ONLY 4 YEARS AWAY!!!

to mayor daley-- please reserve one day of your precious time to spend a day with a beat cop in chicago. you will go to roll call, stand inspection, and be paired with a veteran officer. at the end of the day i guarantee you will be thinking " how the fuck can someone do this for a living"--

Get your whole family to register and vote! Get gramma, Aunt Minnie and your kids registered and vote!

Get the retirees who moved away to move back (on paper) to register and vote!

We can start by voting for Republican Rosana Pulido if the 5th Congressional District. She's very anti illegial immigrant. Democrat Quigley may not be a bad guy but he is a Democrat and will be in the service of Daley.

Informational picketing while the International Olympic Committee is in Chicago.They will be here April 2 to April 6.I suggest that we strongly recommend to the FOP that this action be taken with their support.If they do not,then we toss the present FOP leadership out on their asses...

I think this no confidence vote had a bigger impact than most thought. The mayor is bi-polar just watch him talk. Lastly this fight is ours and for our families we need to win. If the colonial armies could beat England the most powerfull nation on the earth I think we can hold our own against a little man with mental illness. If he is losing control you are winning.

Easy... King Shithead doesn't give a shit if you try make HIM look bad, he only gets pissed off when you make someone HE PROMOTED look bad.

Daley only cares about the power he swings around like a baby. His greatest power is taking care of other people who in turn take his control out into the rest of the world, LIKE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. This is why people taken care of by Daley are shoved into spots around the country and into federal posts, in order to keep people in key positions to derail or prevent further investigation into Daley himself.

He doesn't care what you post about his lame ass, it's tearing down the useless titsuckers he promotes and takes care of that piss him off.

Evidently, King Shithead had great plans for his Fedfuck Weiss, and this embarassment makes it more difficult to push him out into the world with Daley's scum on his feet for protection. I'm assuming a higher federal job or something where Fedfuck can keep Daley safe.

It's exactly how the mob works, think Daley = Mob and you stay on the right track.

I propose that the F.O.P declare the week of APRIL 2nd-9th."WE CARE WEEK".BUSLOADS OF HOMELESS should follow the OYMPIC COMMITEE EVERYWHERE,to state that it doesn't take an Olympic effort to solve homelessness.Washington Park IS a CITY PARK, and OPEN TO EVERYONE.The F.O.P. should provide these buses and food for these AT RISK people.HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A RULE 14 VIOLATION.Any PO called to arrest these people should demand a back up car and unless directly ordered "use discretion".

This POS truely thinks city employees work for him and owe him. Sorry Mr. Shanks, but we work for the citizens of Chicago and the corporation that is Chicago. As a matter of fact, I have worked for the city longer than you.

So Dick, after you stop crying to the picture of your daddy asking him what to do, start doing something for the citizens and not your cronies.

Maybe he is mad because the feds are getting closer to victor reyes former gofer, rosie andolino who got another big promotion at o'hare,making over 250K a year just to keep quiet! hope they are getting closer to the daleyinc criminal enterprise!

#1 Vote for anyone but Quigley in the up-coming election. The Mayor understands the ballot box.

#2 Lawsuit demanding the pension be fully funded as required by law.

#3 Pickets in Washington Park during the Olympic bigshots visit.

#4 No confidence vote pertaining to the Mayor and Weis and Stroger and Quinn and Madigan and Cullerton and Obama. The FOP should mail ballots to every member with a return date prior to the Olympic bigshots visit. The Democrats might then get a hint of our dissatisfaction with their policies!

Hmmm. To elaborate a bit on the homeless idea. Methinks that while having bus-loads of homeless follow the mayor around would be useful, there might be more impact if there could somehow be a "tent city" or "refrigerator box city" in Washington Park the day of the IOC visit. As the earlier poster pointed out, it IS a public park, and if his honor didn't like it, exactly who would clear the park for him?

Or how about a bunch of ODPOs and their families "living" in the park on that day? Out of the tents and refrigerator boxes, of course. The implication would be that living like that is what the mayor has reduced us to. Picket signs would help drive home the point.

Could traffic around the park be mysteriously tied up on the day of the visit. You know, unavoidable traffic stops or pool cars that mysteriously stop running in the center lane?

No matter what, however, do NOTHING that would endanger public safety. That would make us as bad as he is . . .

Not true, we will have retiree health coverage. The question will be how much will it cost.

The FOP has a proposal in the current contract talks that would guarantee health coverage and set the amount each officer will pay and tie that amount to what the officer paid during their last year of service.

BIG PAULEY said...Tantrums must run in the bloodlinelike Tony Soprano's fainting spells. Didnt the stuttering prick's kid have a tantrum and bash some other kids skull in w/the butt of a shotgun?

3/23/2009 07:28:00 AM

It was a baseball bat.

The kid, Patrick Daley, also got arrested in 018 for stealing a stanchion from the rope line of some club in 018. This happened in 1999 or 2000. He was arrested at his apartment and hauled into 018. Naturally calls were made and the club decided not to press charges and the young Patrick Daley was released and all was made well. What a surprise.

Daley NEVER INTENDED to give the F.O.P. a 16% raise for this contract. I think he would provide 2% per year AT BEST. When the F.O.P. asked for 25%, he portrayed them as greedy bastards to the voters and withdrew his ficticious 16% raise from the table.

Don't forget, unemployment is at 8.1% and many workers in the private sector won't get any raises this year.

speaking of daley being embarrassed and angered........remember the speech that mrs. strouse gave during brian strouse's funeral? it was during contract negotiations (2001). i'll never forget that the camera zoomed in on daley when mrs. strouse told the mayor and the city that the police deserve their raise. daley's face was purple he was so embarrassed and mad.

Chicago pension probe: City inspector targets ties to Mayor Richard Daley Millions were invested with DV Urban Realty Partners, a firm formed by a top Daley ally Allison Davis and Daley nephew Robert Vanecko

In light of the 4 Murdered Officers in Oakland, my thoughts and prayers are with their families. I have made it clear to my wife and have stated at work that Mayor Daley and Superintendant Weis are not welcome at my funeral if I should be killed in the line. I feel their attendance would be the ultimate slap in the face to my sacrife, to my family, to the police department and to all the citizens of Chicago. Those two seats will be available to fellow Police Officers and loved ones.

To my fellow officers,this move by mayor daley tells us one thing,it does not matter if you are black,white,male or female,the city hates us all equally. We need to make a untied front. I believe we can show the collective power of the blue shirt by doing these various things. 1. No parkers,no movers or anything that will generate revenue for this city. Mayor Daley could not care less about how many people we arrest. The mayor has only one concern and that is to generate revenue for the city. Why do you think,him and the aldermen are looking for private security guards to write tickets? Money! Plain and simple. 2. Let us generate paper on everything because according to our general orders,whenever a crime is alleged by any citizen,we must document it in a general offense report. Everyone knows these bosses love to play games with crime stats and if we document everything,this will put these self serving bosses on the hot seat and it will show the public a basic truth. The crime rate is out of control and we need more cops on the street. 3. Let us show our basic power in numbers and make a conscious choice to spend our money outside the city. Think about it! If 9500 0fficers would make their purchases outside the city,this would hit mayor daley in the pocket book. The officers on the south side,make a 20 minute trip to indiana and buy your food,gas and all your big ticket items over there. To the officers up north,make a 20 minute trip to dupage or any of the other collar counties and make your purchases there. Ladies and Gentlemen,if we took the time to stand united,our strength would be amazing. If we stood united,this will show mayor daley that we are a force to be taken seriously and maybe we would be treated with respect come contract time. This petty infighting we engage in benefits no one except the mayor and all the other police haters in this city. Lets stand united and lets show our power in numbers.

Would anyone be interested in a plan to make "No Confidence" buttons or maybe Chalkie can have a tie-in that says "No Confidence" somewhere on his shirt. The symbol could be the word "confidence" with a line through it like the no smoking signs you see everywhere.

The Chicago Tribune reports an anti-Olympics group plans to hold a rally on April 2 when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) evaluation commission arrives in Chicago to inspect its bid for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The group No Games Chicago said it expects 2,000 people to attend the rally at 5 p.m. at Federal Plaza.

Bob Quellos, an organizer for the recently formed group, said he has obtained a permit for use of the plaza and he also plans a protest march from Federal Plaza to the Aon Center when the Olympic bid team is based. Quellos said he is waiting for a parade permit from the city.

Supporters of No Games Chicago reportedly believe money that would be spent on the Games should be used instead for basic needs such as housing and schools, especially during tight economic times. Quellos said, "we think it's the wrong priority for the city with the city crumbling".

Absolutely corrupt reasoning and blatant nose thumbing at the letter and spirit of the disclosure laws,

I always thought it would be funny to see Daley taken down by the same law that took down Capone.

I can almost see him now, head bobbing, cronies laughing in the background. Voice getting shrill and a sarcastic smile on his face..."what do ya mean, everyone gets gifts, I mean when Santa Claus come, should we arrest him ? should we, " (cronies all laugh and shake their heads,,,) "No way, I'm gonna go after Santa Claus," Storms off the podium and has Bishop Tutu give a blessing...

What if the crime rate goes up, at the time of the Olympic visit. And the news media is notified, especially on incidents near or in Washington Park and Lake shore Drive. And everything is made a big issue.

Daley doesn't care what you say about him, furthermore, he he doesn't care about the police officers nor does he give a damn about our families. He has set the tone that all the bosses live by and that is, "ME ME ME". The bosses on this job have 1 concern... themselves, and they will walk on anyone to keep their spot safe, and the cost is no concern.

Contact Cards and Event #'s. I can see some b.s. event #'s but Contact cards mean you held someone against their will to ask them questions. If they stay willingly, no contact card is needed. So why document your own evidence to be held against you.

The hell with Mayor Shortstuff. Shanks is a complete IDIOT. Hey IOC-WE ALL HATE THIS CRYBABY MAYOR SHORTSHANKS WHO CRIES LIKE A LITTLE BITCH WHEN HE DOESN'T GET HIS WAY. The Idiot is nutso. You should see through his sorry ass when he starts yelling at the press and the taxpayers. Ass don't mess with the "faithbased morons like play priest phleger. Everyone of his "people" goes to prison and yet Shortshanks claims he had no idea what's going on in his administration. IOC-You're not stupid. This guy is a moron. WE- the Police-even hate him. RIO is your best bet in 2016. TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!

Why don't we all contribute a little money and throw an informal picnic for street people somewhere around the committee itinerary. Maybe we could give them a little work to carry signs with information about homeless and unemployed and the run down city. It is a rough idea but something to build on. The mayor has already declared a recession and we have no money. How could we come up with money for games?

All officers just need to take thier time and do thier job correctly. Take your time find legal parking when on a call. Let all the callers explain thier problem, then give them the proper police report. Take your time and write a clear report. Tour the area for a possible offender before coming clear for the next job. Take your two personells and your proper lunch. Do a park check and a school check (I advise staying away from actual students they are apparently dangerous). If you get a chance a bus check is always nice. A car wash and top off the tank for the next watch. It gets you through the day. Hand in a bunch of reports,(crime rate goes up if you dont 19p everything). remember district realignments are coming the districts with the most crime get more bodys. P.S. Start downing the crap cars it is unsafe and silly to drive these pieces of crap if they dont have a pool car stop and get a paper or bring a book to motor maintence with you.

Come on…give the guy a break. It’s hard to maintain a dynasty with the Feds all over, friends indicted and business associates, not to mention “your” city is collapsing right before your very eyes… You don’t one minute to the next, am I going to get a call to surrender or are they going to pull a Blago on me…That kind of pressure is intense, I can just imagine, then again, I guess I can’t.

We (the citizens of Chicago) Don't want the Olympics here. Plain and simple! Don't believe anything and I mean anything that lying piece of shit back stabbing corrupt Mayor of ours has to say. Promises, will be broken. Denials, oh yeah! Deals under the table, most certainly!

No Confidence Mayor Daley - No Confidence - Jody Weis...

Would someone honest, knowledgable and worth a damn come to Chicago and lead please

to mayor daley-- please reserve one day of your precious time to spend a day with a beat cop in chicago. you will go to roll call, stand inspection, and be paired with a veteran officer. at the end of the day i guarantee you will be thinking " how the fuck can someone do this for a living"--

3/23/2009 02:03:00 AMxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHe would never do it,he thinks he is superior.

I just hope to God that UR not the Police!! Maybe you can have your family go to work for you. If you are that fuckin SCARED to speak up for yourself and take a stand for what we(you) deserve in the contract, what are you like at work!! If you're capable to toss your family under the train, what will you do to your partner.

And to those who think picketing in front of the committee is the way to go...think again.

You think that asswipe is gonna let you picket near those people?

Not a chance in hell. You'll find yourselves getting shuffled out of sight and far away or you'll find the very brothers you work with locking your ass up. Then Bobblehead will have you fired for same.

Not the Police..I'm a retired City employee..I support the CPD 110% this no contract stuff is nuts! Police deserve a contract and a proper raise in salary. Tell me when the protest is and where..I'll be there to show my support..GOD BLESS YOU ALL..Please stay safe!

How about showing up outside the news windows, channel 5 -7 with signs, this will surely be seen by the city of chicago resdients, also what about having a crew follow Daley around, when he goes into a joint to eat, just walk the sidewalks with signs, his security guys have no balls, what are they going to do, take awy your signs, just have someone there filming it, they will shut down fast, We have the right to informational picketing, but of course I don't know why FOP, PBPA and the others just don't organize something, it's obvious that the City Fucks us over and over, let's start the strongarming back at them, this pussy ass attitude is not putting money in our pockets, If they would have begun contracts talks earlier then June 0f 2007, we wouldn't be in this spot, Unions do really SUCK, /

Want to increase the pressure?? We NEED to increase the pressure. Great idea regarding rallying when the Olympic Committee is hear. It is his obesssive dream.

Here is another idea, but we need to finally stand together and work as one. The only other time I have seen us pull off being united was the ticket strike of the late 80's (and belive me that rattled some cages). This is neither a "job action", nor anything that can be construed as unfair or a "slowdown".

Here's the idea: Take a weekend, and on Friday and Saturday everyone who can, grabs some sort of (legitemate, legal, albeit lame ass) pinch near the end of their tour. Lock up anyone breaking any law. Can you imagine if we get even half of every watch for six tours submitting overtime slips??

I know, eveyone wants to go home, or out, especially on the weekend, but we are fighting for our livlihood and families here. One weekend of a few hours of O.T. I guarantee you this will set off fireworks.

Then the icing on the cake: King Richard wants tickets/revenue?? OK, on Sunday we go out and write every double parker, bus stop parker, fire hydrant parker, and cross walk parker by all the "houses of worship" in the city. Think Shortshanks will catch some heat from the "revs"??? And what can any of them say publicly??? "We are entitled to break the law" from the hypocrytical religious...what about Joe citizen who gets ticketed for double parking for 5 minutes to run into the store, but it's ok for dozens to double park for hours during services???

And what does the king say...I condoen, endorse, order officers to overlook the law for this group of people. Maybe the guy who so zealously seeks seperation of church and state would like to take this one to court...police allowing violations because the mayor says don't write tickets because of pressure from religious groups.

The thing is we have to pull this off together. One or two or three districts can't pull this off.

The mayor has thrown down the gauntlet. We must respond as THE POLICE respond...as a whole, as one, united against what is wrong!!!

Along with INFORMATIONAL PICKETING when the Olympic Committee is here, what about picketing the highrise apartment building where former Shortshanks Chief of Staff, and new Chicago 2016 President Lori T. Healey lives.

Maybe her neighbors might be concerned that the police have gone so long without a contract.

I think a great way to increase pressure is to vote a Republican into the 5th Congressional seat. Namely Conservative Rosanna Pulido.

It's easy and it will not cost you anything. Besides, it would be great to have a Pro-Police Congressman who is everything Daley hates! Pro- Enforcement, And who's priority will be to bring Stimulus money back where it is needed, in the Police Pension.

We are the experts on this stuff, we only need to come together and do it. The FOP will never do it. We need to start an underground union the anti-fop, and I say we vote no confidence in Mark Donohoe.

"Why do PO's get 8 hours credit for a BFD but supervisors get 10 hours credit for the same BFD?"

It was a deal negociated between the City and the Sergeants Union to get buy in from the sergeants when they lost 52 days of their 45 CU/rank credit. They still didn't break even but it was enough to get the Sergeant's Union to sign off on the pilot program.

The media should ask the Mayor, why is it you and the alderman get such large raises when you claim we are in such tough times? Why is it you give contracts with nice raises to the labor unions and teacher unions, but time and time again you treat your poilce and firemen so poorly? Why do you hide large sums of money, sell off city assets, and only attempt to fix the areas of the city that the olympic committee will see? How can you cry broke, but then fight so hard for the olympics? The media should start asking these easy questions.

What a classic. Drunken rich asshole kid on a rip.

Amazing how cooperative those "licensed establishments" can be regarding little matters like this...

By the way, what's up with with ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT BEATRICE CUELLO'S CONDOMINIUM FILLED WITH BULK NARCOTICS AND MULTIPLE ILLEGAL FIREARMS?

I want to remind Al Sanchez that this years "Ethics Test" is up an running on the Academy's website. What's that? Oh...Too late huh? Oh we'll for everyone else, the City of Chicago Ethics Test is up and running and can be accessed through the education and training division website. Good luck.

Here's the idea: Take a weekend, and on Friday and Saturday everyone who can, grabs some sort of (legitemate, legal, albeit lame ass) pinch near the end of their tour. Lock up anyone breaking any law. Can you imagine if we get even half of every watch for six tours submitting overtime slips??

*****************************that i$ ea$y as pie. In my district, a decent pinch is not far away. I make a pretty penny each cycle from "late" arre$t$.

I just hope to God that UR not the Police!! Maybe you can have your family go to work for you. If you are that fuckin SCARED to speak up for yourself and take a stand for what we(you) deserve in the contract, what are you like at work!!

3/23/2009 04:31:00 PM________________________________Yeah, like we see YOU logging on here with your brave comments under your real name? Get real. Unless you have just two minutes on the job, which maybe is the problem, oh big brave one, you know how retaliation works.

This can be done, it just has to be done smart. Unless EVERYONE goes out to do it, which would be the 'right' way to do this.

Since you can't get two coppers to agree on a lunch location, I'm thinking you probably can't get five thousand to show up en masse at a demonstration.

They can sweep the homeless out of the park. They can't screw withthe U.S. Mail. If we can get our spys to get the hotel intel, we could get a mailing to the Olympic Committee. Getta run, let's think about what would be delivered by Express Mail, signed for by hotel staff and handed (after security screening) to committee members.

Guys and gals this is what happens when you have unchecked power for 20 years. Everyone rolls over this little shit and it is very painful. Every four years the following wards are 90 percent or better for this guy- 41st, 36th, 45th, 13th, 23rd, 39th, 47th, 40th, 19th and so on. Theses wards represent 75% of the CPD at least so we are consistently voting for him. There has to be an alternative out there and we must go out and work for him or her and help remove this little shit from his perch. This just sucks.

The International Olympic Committee will be in town from April 2-8th to evaluate Chicago’s potential as a Host City for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Let them know that Chicago 2016 does not speak for the people of Chicago. Let them know that Chicagoans have other priorities. Let them hear your voice.

RALLY. SPEAK OUT. PROTEST. SHUT DOWN THE OLYMPIC BID!

We need Better Hospitals, Housing, Schools, and Trains — Not Olympic Games.They Play and We Pay. NO GAMES!

The kid, Patrick Daley, also got arrested in 018 for stealing a stanchion from the rope line of some club in 018. This happened in 1999 or 2000. He was arrested at his apartment and hauled into 018. Naturally calls were made and the club decided not to press charges and the young Patrick Daley was released and all was made well. What a surprise.

It rated only a small news item in the papers.

Anyone from 018 remember this incident?*****Sure do. The place was Tequila Roadhouse on Wells. He did more than steal the stanchion, but the owner liked having a liquor license so he didn't pursue the case.
